| Wow. My first visit on Saturday. I wish that was a 'wow' of great food, great beer, great service. But alas, it's a 'wow' at how shoddy and downright rude the staff were. The sullen, glowering, grunting barmaid was abrasive and snatched our money, throwing the change back at us like we'd insulted her mother. In fact we'd asked politely what cider they had on tap, then ordered a bottle and a pint of bitter, while smiling and using please and thankyou. She proceeded to give me a filthy glass full of ice to go with my Bulmers which was a delight. We managed to get a table in the pleasant outdoor area which is admittedly very lovely, if full of preening moneyed types. The barmaid put me off so much that I absolutely won't be back. A disgrace to London pubs, which is saying something in tourist-ridden west London. Avoid at all costs if you like polite service and a genuine atmosphere. Rizzle - 2 Nov 2011 16:31 |
| Not for the first time, I visited this place expecting it to be a better occasion than the last. Not for the first time, this visit was worse than the last. I always seem to leave the bar fuming at the stinking attitude of the bar staff. This time because I dared to order some drinks using basic politeness. This was not received well and was greeted with huffs and snarls while my money was snatched from my hand and change tossed back at me. Unfortunately it very much seems that if you are not dressed like the "in" crowd of the pub you are clearly made to feel unwelcome. Such is the attitude from the staff I have received on several occasions, this often sullies any potential enjoyment for the venue, including a very tempting and exciting looking menu. The beer selection is ok, if rather plain in this day and age (for a venue of that stature). The clientele also provide interesting people-watching opportunities as posh Notting Hill types who have heard of the East London style, but are too scared to venture across town. I've given this place my last chance Roydwin - 30 Oct 2011 17:31 |
| 2.5 years on since i last reviewed this pub and little has changed. Bar staff still woeful, clientele by and large up their own back passage, outside seating area still fabulous but very crowded the moment the sun comes out. It remains a place where Eurotrash and mod-dells go to see and be seen. If that is your bag then fill your boots, if you prefer something with a little more soul and respect then walk on by.
